AMD Shows First Ryzen 7 7800X3D Game Benchmarks, Up To 24% Faster Than Core i9-13900K
AMD has finally released some of the official gaming benchmark for its 8-core Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor that should be coming in April, and, now that AMD has released some of the first gaming benchmarks, it appears that it outperforms the Intel Core i9-13900K by up to 24 percent. Officially, AMD is putting the Ryzen 7 7800X3D against the Intel Core i7-13700K, leaving the Core i9-13900K and the Core i9-13900KS to its 16- and 12-core Ryzen 7000X3D SKUs.
Although some of its Ryzen 7000X3D series chips are available as of February 28th, namely the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the Ryzen 9 7900X3D, AMD has pushed back the launch of its 8-core/16-thread Ryzen 7 7800X3D. This was quite a surprise and a big letdown, especially due to its tempting $449 price tag. One of the reasons might be the fact that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is simply too good and might put a lot of pressure on even AMD's own SKUs, let alone Intel's lineup.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D has yet another significant advantage compared to the rest of the Ryzen 7000X3D series, as while the 12-core and 16-core SKUs are a multi-chip module with two CCDs, and feature an asymmetric chiplet design, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has a rather standard design, with single 8-core CCD with 3D V-Cache.
The Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the Ryzen 9 7900X3D have two CCDs with only one CCD with 3D Vertical Cache, which means it relies on software control, or the 3D Vertical Cache Optimizer Driver, to ensure that workload from games are directed to the CCD with the 3D Vertical Cache using dynamic "preferred cores" flagging for the Windows OS scheduler. You can find more details in our Ryzen 9 7950X3D review.
AMD has released two new slides, putting the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D against the Intel Core 9 13900K in four games, Rainbow Six Siege, Total War: Three Kingdoms, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Horizon Zero Dawn. In all four, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is ahead of the Core i9-13900K, by anywhere between 13 and 24 percent. The second slide puts the Ryzen 7 7800X3D against the previous generation AMD Ryzen 5800X3D in Rainbow Six Siege, Warhammer: Dawn of War III, CS:GO, and DOTA 2, where the new generation is anywhere between 21 and 30 percent faster.
If these benchmarks turn out to be even close to painting the realistic picture, as these are just three games handpicked by AMD, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, priced at $449, might be a big winner for AMD, and becoming one of the best sellers as it managed to outperform Intel's $579 priced Core i9-13900K SKU, while being $130 less expensive. The Core i7-13700K, which is what AMD is actually putting the Ryzen 7 7800X3D against, is priced at $405.
Of course, these are handpicked benchmarks provided by AMD so take them with a grain of salt, and we would rather wait to check out these performance figures by ourselves when it officially launches on April 6th. In the meantime, you can check out our Ryzen 7800X3D preview, which is a simulation of the performance with a single CCD enabled.

"no CPU priced at $450 is particularly appealing for a gaming use case" - you say this but you know the vast majority of i9 CPUs are bought for gaming though, if it is good for Intel, the 7800X3D is $200 less and faster for gaming, it absolutely makes sense, it is all about the high refresh rate gamer
profiteeringrobbery with NVIDIA steering the wheel.then there's the question of 1% lows
it's not pointless at all (well, arguing IS pointless, but picking the best cpu for gaming (if that's what you're after) is not pointless :) )that makes no sense. pairing a slow cpu with a fast gpu and a high refresh rate monitor will leave you bottlenecked cpu-side and you won't have a good time, and also - people that buy 3080s (or faster) don't buy a 4k60hz display. they buy 4k144hz+
spoilers: you can be cpu-limited at 4k, too
